Poem 106 – Journey

0628_buenavista3_w

 

Write your words

I missed them today

Your metaphors

Images vivid

Take me with you

Your journey is mine.

 

It was sunny, fine and warm

Our picnic planned

The basket packed

Freshness

Hope

Your journey is mine.

 

Beside the stream

We lay back, well fed,

Your back against mine

We joked,

We laughed

Your journey is mine.

 

Later they came

News never so good

Now I have your back

Strong, safe

Reassured

Your journey is mine.

 

In the face of destruction

Never a thought

No giving up

Determined

Committed

Your journey is mine.

 

Years later we reflect

Having rebuilt a life

Now we are many

Our children

Community

Your journey was ours.

    • Thank you for reading Lou. Hope you are having a good day, not too humid up your way?

        Everyone in the family is quite sick actually – except for me, though everyone has had lunch (if they could eat it) and has been medicated with antibiotics, steroids, Ventolin and paracetamol…

        Has been a little humid weather wise…

        How about down your way?

      • Lovely day sunny but humid, then again it’s like this at this time of year. I am well. I am now days spared the sickness of children though my kids are quick to tell me when the gkids are unwell.
